Midnight Texts & Empty Sheets

I reread your last text by the blue phone light

Forced my words, but they're pulling me all night

I tell myself, breathe, let the hurt pass through

But the bed feels colder on the side you're used to use

I keep my voice low

Tryna make peace with a heart that won't chill

See the outside shining, but it don't reach in

When the sun and stars talk and I'm losing it all

I'm learning how to let go, lift a body to

Not every goodbye has to break me in the middle

If love was a garden, I'm closing it slow

Still I feel the shadow in the afterglow

I'm learning how to let-

Even it hurts

Even if my name in your mouth still groans

I won't chase the cause of what we used to know

I'm learning how to let go

I folded your hoodie and I set it aside

Like a small little storm out in need of my light

Still I reach for the phone when the room gets too wide

Then I snap at your name and I let it slide

I keep my voice low, I keep my hands still

Tryna make peace, let a heart that won't chill

City outside shining, but it don't reach in

When the setting stars talking, I'm losing again

And how to let go, let go

Little, not every goodbye has to bring me in the middle

If love was a door, then I'm closing it slow

Still, I feel your shadow in the afterglow

Learning how to let go, even if it hurts

Even if my name in your mouth still burns

I won't chase the ghost of what we used to know

I'm learning how to let go

So I let the night fade

I let my heart mend

One less memory

One more breath to spend

If you come back around

I'll just say no

I'm learning how to let go
